Hi Paul,
What is happening is mail is coming from machine A--à sent to a middle machine X which I think is acting as a delivery machine(as I see postfix as a processes) which iisn't the recipient of the mail just Deliverer. It is also a jails machine. Anyway the logs on system A say the following when sending a mail to me through X. Feb 25 13:04:17 ccl_imagpsm sendmail[25091]: q1OFs7e0007106: to=<chris.ben...@cell.com>, ctladdr=<build@ccl_imagpsm.wms.cell.com> (500/500), delay=21:10:07, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=4080533, relay=tools2.wms.cell.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with tools2.wms.cell.com. I did a tcp dump on system X and I did see packets coming in and out from X on port 25 but nothing came in on the maillog. I then sent the same email I attempted on system A but from system X. That worked and here is the log. Feb 25 13:33:44 tools2 postfix/pickup[20706]: F0986628D: uid=0 from=<root> Feb 25 13:33:44 tools2 postfix/cleanup[21660]: F0986628D: message-id=<20120225133344.f09866...@tools2.wms.cell.com> Feb 25 13:33:44 tools2 postfix/qmgr[20707]: F0986628D: from=<r...@tools2.wms.cell.com>, size=441, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 25 13:33:45 tools2 postfix/smtp[21675]: F0986628D: to=<chris.ben...@cell.com>, relay=wmsexg01.corp.cell.com[10.200.104.15]:25, delay=0.16, delays=0.03/0.01/0.01/0.11, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as DC069B18973) Feb 25 13:33:45 tools2 postfix/qmgr[20707]: F0986628D: removed I am loosing much info as many machines are attempting to deliver email. Not sure what to do need a mentor on this.

Sendmail all of a sudden stopped working...the sendmial is supposed to send to another machine. Check /var/log/maillog on both boxes, you should see a log message on the origin machine and the onward machine of the form (I've replaced actual names with CAPS) Feb 25 10:37:32 SERVER1 sm-mta[74139]: q1OIevSE033413-MSGID: to=<i...@domain.com> <mailto:i...@domain.com> , delay=15:56:34, xdelay=00:01:15, mailer=esmtp, pri=2919788, relay=SOME.RELAY. [X.X.86.167], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Operation timed out with [SERVER] What does the Stat say on the first box, if its anything other than Sent Ok, then it'll say why. ( deferred, refused etc). Check the logs on the 2nd server for the same message. Post extracts from both boxes if you need further help good luck Paul. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" <mailto:freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org> _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
